    The parish church of Saint-Martin is located in the chapel of the Templar commandery located in Vouthon. Dating from the 12th century, the Templar commandery of Vouthon is one of the oldest in Charente.
    In 1312, the commandery passed under the order of Saint John of Jerusalem, as can still be seen today by the Maltese cross on the forecourt of the church.
    During the Hundred Years War, the facade underwent changes and the building was altered several times over the following centuries.
    The house, which is accessed by a staircase, was built by the Hospitallers.

    One of the Templar commanders, Raymond de Mareuil, was cited by another Templar during questioning by the Pope's commissioners in 1311, in the conflict between King Philippe le Bel and the Templars.
